- Market yourself up as a Postman alternative - Work for some time - Do the same shit as Postman - ... - Profit? Really? I don’t know even. Why does it have to be the same story all the time? It’s become so tiring.

Delphi 5-7 was such a boon to anybody picking up Pascal in school. Still remember that feeling of discovering that you can drop controls on a form, write some spaghetti to make them work together, and bam! you can make a real windowed appli

Yeah, any discussion of anonymity and Signal can start and end with phone numbers. They could maybe offer an option to use just a username and some kind of authentication? But somehow they don’t :(

I don’t know why this was flagged, because to me it rings very true. I’m from a different country but I have been on the receiving end of poverty and teachers who at least tried to give a damn about their pupils, and some tutors too. At som

Years go by, and I, a simple webdev basement dweller, just can’t stop looking at Postgres and think once in a while: “man, what can’t this thing do?” (Of course it can’t do a lot of things, but the stuff that’s baked into it already or ca

You’re accusing the comment author of something they didn’t commit. How perceiving condescension in a given paragraph of text is having “a dislike of the author” and “projecting”? If you didn’t detect something that somebody else felt, how
